TROUBLING
Connell Park, New Brunswick Sat Jun 14 opening day
Rather surprisingly, the 2nd race replay was (is)
part of tv article from the weekend. Still up.
Replay of 2nd race.
Just before start, :56 of tape, apparently starting gate makes contact with three yr child at fence (which you thankfully dont see), 1:08 mark you hear announcer whisper 'what happened', as screams are heard lightly in background below. Race continues with announcer asking for ambulance and/or doctor. Race is completed without further play by play comment, as 4 horsemen didnt know there had been incident. Normal post race slo mo stretch replay production included, as tv crew may not have been aware about the tragic moment.
Just a terrible incident

Police inv is underway. Tragic accident investigation no doubt to review starting gate getaway.
r.i.p. little one.
